Bombay Mahal Express delivers authentic Indian flavors with standout butter chicken and fluffy naan, while a variety of vegetarian options like veggie thali and saag paneer keep diners satisfied; portions are generous and prices are affordable, with fast, friendly service making it a reliable choice for takeout and dine in, though a few dishes were noted as sweeter or less spicy than expected and some delivery orders varied in quality.
My go to Indian, hole in the wall. It used to be owned by the main restaurant on Jean Talon, but it's been sold off…but the food recipes remained pretty much the same. Atmosphere is to be desired so take out is the best option if you live in the area. The service at counter is comparable. Manage your expectations for the price point & atmosphere. However, they have always been efficient & never rude or disrespectful. Just efficient & consistent which is pretty good. Butter chicken is the best option. But almost everything is good. Portion size has somewhat gone down over the years but it's still a lot of food for a thali. Bonus small samosa is a plus. So if you want to no fuss affordable Indian place, this is a solid option.

Excellent platter of butter chicken, saag paneer, aloo gobi & samosa. The naan was so flavourful! Fast & friendly service. My colleague enjoyed her platter which consisted of lamb & , chicken curries & chick pea curry. The amount of chili in the dishes was just as she liked!
You can never go wrong with this place, I have been visiting here since it was opened. Authentic Indian flavors, best butter chicken, & Naan. Chicken curry, Gobhi Aloo, & Chana masala remind me of back home. Hats off to the chef.
I had a takeout order, the combo for 1 person, & unfortunately it was not worth it. The portion size was scant for the price point & the food was just so-so. The chicken was rubbery & parts of the naan was stiff & hard to chew.
I'll tell you it's amazing Indian food. The butter chicken was some of the best I've had. The price is right on point, especially if you get the meal deal. But if highly recommend this place. For any time of the day, but especially after a good night of drinks.

I recently ordered the Non-Vegetarian Combo For 1 from Bombay Express, & I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The combo offered an excellent variety, perfectly portioned for one, making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to indulge in some authentic Indian flavors. The Butter Chicken was the star of the meal, with tender pieces of chicken simmered in a rich & creamy tomato-based sauce that was both flavorful & satisfying. The Palak Paneer was another highlight, with the spinach & paneer combination cooked to perfection, offering a delicious balance of spices. The meal also came with a generous serving of rice, which paired beautifully with both the Butter Chicken & the Palak Paneer. The Vegetarian Pakora was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, & had just the right amount of spice. The Naan was soft & warm, perfect for scooping up the rich sauces, while the Papadum added a nice crunch to the overall experience. To end the meal, the Gulab Jamun provided a sweet, syrupy finish that was the perfect conclusion to this well-rounded combo. Overall, Bombay Express did not disappoint with this Non-Vegetarian Combo For 1. It's a great value for money & a delicious way to experience a variety of Indian dishes in one meal. I'll definitely be ordering again!
Two UK friends & I came across this wonderful smell & decided that we would have curry for lunch. I have been looking for a curry that tastes of curry & is Vegetarian gluten free & they delivered. The best curry I have ever had. One of my friends had Chicken Korma & he said that it was the nicest korma that he had ever had ... so we were well impressed.
